The greatest adventure of all is the run from Alaska to the most southerly point of Chile! And for anyone born in the Americas, it's the perfect way to know our incredible hemisphere before traveling the rest of the world. With this trek you become an ambassador for your native soil, the three Americas. Or at the very least you'll have something knowledgeable to say if anyone were to ask a simple question like, "Where are you from?" or "Tell me about..."
No better way to appreciate the Americas (North, Central & South) than to trek the Pan American Highway! Amongst many other astounding locations, there's the Darien Gap! Atacama Desert! Torres del Paine! And Volcanoes all along the way! No other undertaking will give you a better sense of the bio-diversity, not to mention the history, language differences and the sociological dynamic of being alive in the Americas!
Personally, I've traveled only the portion from the U.S./Mexico border south to the city of Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego. Many travel whims pull at me constantly yet my thoughts return to trekking the section to the north. And upon completion, I believe I'll have attained a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.
The rewards are great. Begin your own great adventure in the Americas on the Pan American Highway. Open the door of possibility by learning more. Take the first step and you'll never look back!
